I have a VIA Epia C800 mini itx pc, 800mhz cpu / 512mb ram/ and an onboard Trident Microsystems CyberBlade gfx
When I run xbmc, (installed from the live disk ) I just end up with a black screen and nothing else.
I know the program is working, as I can hear the sound effects when I cycle the menus, but I just dont get the display.
Also, if I ctrl-alt-F2 I can get a terminal session ok.
The live cd I've tried is from May 25 2009 (SVN:20654)
It works fine on my laptops so I know the disk is ok.
If I run xbmc from within a full ubuntu install, then it works, but only within a window, and obviously very slowly..
So this suggests the card 'could' run xbmc ?
But... if I try the live install, either from the cd/usb or post installing it, I cant get any kind of display after its booted. I get the xbmc splash screen, but it just ends with a black screen.
I've tried copying the xconf from a working ubuntu install, into the xbmc install, but still no joy.
anyone got any ideas ?
I've pasted my debug log file here
And I've attached my ubuntu xconf file, tho it only works for ubuntu, not xbmc..
